Loving Brother-in-law

A Welcome to Ryu

Singapore

That night Mr. Darma made a celebration party at a large restaurant. Although the invited guests are only a few people, in order to celebrate the gratitude of Mr. Darma for the recovery of Riyu.

For almost a year haunted by anxiety and anxiety, now Darma can breathe a sigh of relief, after his beloved grandson began to recover as usual.

Taps... Taps... Taps...

Footsteps adorned with high heels, and a body wrapped in a luxurious dress look so firm and graceful passed over the red carpet attached along the entrance of the star-rated hotel restaurant. His head was upright, his eyes were staring intently and filled with precision. On his lips was a resolute smile that made people feel admiration for him.

Noval stood at the door welcoming her delicate hand, "Welcome back honey" Noval said with a charming smile, extending her hand to welcome Riyu's arrival.

"Thankyou" Riyu replied, holding Noval's hand.

"You're late, you're dressed so pretty tonight" Noval said in a slightly whispered tone.

"Thank you husband, I just want people to know that Grandpa Darma's granddaughter deserves to be with them" a cynical smile implied on Riyu's lips.

The brief conversation stopped as Riyu and Noval reached the guests who had been waiting at the dinner table. Looking at Riyu and Noval, they stood welcomingly and with happy smiles.

"Sorry grandfather, Ryu is late" said Riyu, peeping briefly at Darma's right cheek.

"Yes. Late 10 minutes can still forgive grandfather by seeing your appearance tonight, all paid off already. Grandpa's granddaughter is very beautiful" Darma said praising making Riyu smile in embarrassment.

Darma invites guests to return to their seats. On the table there is a wide variety of luxury foods to enjoy.

"Congratulations on your recovery Miss Riyu, but after this you have to prepare a lot of energy to stand on the precedent of Galuh union" said one of Darma's friends accompanied by a light laugh.

"Of course Om. I slept well for too long, and now it's time to go back. It's really my husband!" riyu replied, her gaze directly towards Noval's face looking at her attentively.

"Of course, honey. Let's toast. To welcome the return of the Galuh union precedent!" Noval raised her wine glass.

Ting... The sound of the glass clashing.

They enjoyed dinner together with laughter and light talk. Dayu, Darma, and Noval must return to Y to continue their work.

"Riyu, if you've returned to country Y later, don't forget to occasionally play to aunt's place" said a middle-aged woman. She owns a cosmetics company there.

"Of course Bi, if I have a vacation I will definitely visit" Riyu replied. He immediately hid his smile and bowed.

"What's up, Riyu? Tanya Darma.

"Ga any cake, just. There was a strange feeling when I heard country Y. What's up there?"

Darma was silent, confused as to what to explain. "Ehem... Riyu, country Y is your homeland. It's only natural that you feel weird, don't you, Mr. Darma" Noval said, trying to divert.

"Yes... Yeah right" Darma was nervous.

Ryu responded with a smile. Even though Noval's answer was quite reasonable, it remained that Ryu was still not satisfied.

After Ryu's dinner cleaned himself in his room, he changed his clothes to a comfortable nightgown. In front of the dressing table Riyu combed her hair before going to bed, Noval observed from the mirror image.

"It turns out she's pretty too" Noval murmured inwardly.

Riyu regained consciousness when she glanced at Noval's reflection in the "Em mirror... Why are you looking at me like that?" riyu asked feeling nervous.

"I just want to say that I miss you so much" Noval got up from her seat and approached Riyu.

"Didn't you remember? We used to be a happy married couple" Noval gently caressed Riyu's shoulder.

"Hemhs. Really!" He smiled cynically. She got up from the dresser and walked to the bed. But Noval pulls Ryu's arm until he slams into his arms.

"What are you going to do!" Riyu tried to let go of her embrace.

"What else is Ryu? I'm your husband, it's only natural that you serve me, isn't it?" said Noval gently stroking Riyu's face.

Ryu was silent, yes. Indeed she knows that Noval is her husband, but in her heart Riyu strongly objected every time Noval touched her.

Noval kisses Riyu and guides him to the top of the bed, though in fact he refuses but... Ryu also could not ignore his obligations.

Ryu closed his eyes, hoping that it would end quickly. Yet... At the moment Noval was making out softly, a black and white shadow appeared instantly in her closed eyes.

Riyu starts to fidget and tries to push Noval slowly but to no avail. The more Noval continued her activity the shadow that Riyu remembered the more clearly emblazoned. In the fast-moving black-and-white shadow, Riyu looked at a man who was touching her. He's convinced that the man isn't Noval.

"Enough! Stop enough!" Shouted Riyu pushing Noval with all his might. Riyu immediately sat down with a stupefied breath and fixed her clothes.

Noval was silent, it was almost a little more but again he had to hold it.

"I'm sorry... But I can't Noval!" Riyu got off the bed and immediately ran towards the bathroom.

"What's wrong with me?. Why does every Noval touch me that shadow always appears! What's really going on!" Riyu lunglai sat down leaning against the door of her bathroom.

*****

That morning Sam sat looking at the frame on his bedroom table. A beautifully framed photo shows a smiling Riyu, a sweet smile that is always present in Sam's memory. Until now Sam still does not know the situation, where Ryu, what he looks like. Sam never knew. Many times Sam also tried to find information about the whereabouts of Riyu, but all succeeded in nil, Mr. Darma really covered it very closely.

After pensive for a moment Sam returned to prepare for his office. Since Riyu disappeared from her life Sam's attitude has also changed more and more, becoming very quiet, cooler than usual.

"Boss. It's lunchtime" said Aji pointing at his watch.

"Yes you can go" Sam replied briefly.

"You?"

"I'm not hungry" Sam replied without turning his eyes away from his laptop screen.

Without saying much Aji stepped out, but before opening the door Aji turned to look at Sam who was still busy typing his fingers on his laptop keyboard.

"Sam you didn't have lunch?" Mahesa enters Sam's room.

"Pa can you knock on the door before you come in?" Sam looked annoyed.

"Papa knocked on the door many times but you didn't hear it, papa thought you were out of the room for lunch"

"Oh... Sorry I didn't hear you knock on the door" Sam looked at Mahesa for a moment and then turned to the laptop screen again.

The atmosphere was quiet again, Mahesa was looking for a way to bond with her son.

"Sam, accompany papa to lunch" said Mahesa suddenly.

Sam's finger stopped typing, he looked at Mahesa in wonder. "Why? What's wrong with a father taking his son to lunch?" Mahesa shrugged both of her shoulders.

"No... Not wrong. It's just weird, like you usually invite me to eat together. Why don't you take your beloved wife?"

"Sam please don't start the debate, papa will be waiting for you in the loby!" Mahesa said and left.

Sam was pensive, all he wanted to do right now was to be alone and busy his mind to divert anxiety. But on the other hand he is also not good if you have to refuse Mahesa's request.

Ten minutes later, Mahesa who was still waiting in the lobby could finally smile with relief as Sam accepted his lunch invitation, they boarded a car together and chose a restaurant not far from the office.

Actually there is something Mahesa wants to tell Sam, he knows that Riyu will be back soon. But... Mahesa didn't tell Sam about this. He tried to find words to discuss it but still Mahesa did not have the courage.
